Aston Villa-Burnley is a match on the 20th day of the Premier League and is played Saturday at 4 p.m. TV, lineups, predictions.
After the defeat against Manchester United came in a comeback and especially after being ahead for most of the match with a two-goal lead, Aston Villa coach Unai Emery was asked what was missing to win. And the coach replied, “We have 39 points, that’s great.” And how can you blame the coach who is third in the standings just three points behind Liverpool at the top and who against Burnley “risks” taking another important win.
Yes, because against the formation that is second-to-last in the standings the hosts are the favored ones. Only one defeat in the season in front of their own fans for the Villans, and not even in the Premier but in the Cup. Then only victories and a draw, the last one, against Sheffield that still screams revenge. In short, there is no way through, and Burnley, which does not put fear into the game, looks very much like the classic sacrificial victim.
This is the classic match that has little to tell, at least as far as those directly involved are concerned, with Aston Villa absolutely favored and unable and unwilling to slip up another match. So? So the prediction is nicely written, and one can even indulge a little.
The prediction
Aston Villa usually manages to unlock these matches as early as the first half, and that should be the case this time as well. A match that at the end of ninety minutes should also give at least three goals. With a clear and certain victory of the hosts.
